Maybe you are using compression? Compression is a disadvantage when

Thank you a lot for you fast reply. Adding the "default" option make it work. I
keep the "timeout" option, because I want it and I remember that it was from

That would be cool, but you can avoid this by rsyncing over an alternative
transport, like rsh to a remote rsync daemon which you can instantiate off
the cmd line trivially...
